Unable to load local library via GUI
Noel, the package uses BLAS and your R is setup to build against vecLib BLAS which has bad ID so anything linked against it will have trouble finding libRblas. The simple fix is to switch to R BLAS instead of vecLib BLAS (see R for Mac FAQ 12.5). Alternatively update to R 2.13.2, the issue has been fixed in the CRAN binary distribution of R 2.13.2. Cheers, Simon

Hi all,
I have an interesting issue specific to the Mac R.app, but not to the command line R or Rstudio.
I have looked through the archive, however most of the threads seem to be for std packages, and further, most of what is said is a little beyond me, so any help with the problem below would be really appreciated.
I have a locally developed library (libmlalgs), which I am able to install via the command line:
sudo R64 CMD INSTALL libmlalgs
In the /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/libmlalgs there is a .so file
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/libmlalgs/libs/x86_64/libmlalgs.so
This runs and installs OK.
I am able to run R64 in the command line and load the libmlalgs library fine :)
I am able to use Rstudio and load the libmlalgs library fine.
However, when using the R64.app and try and load the library within the GUI I am getting the following error:
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/libmlalgs/libs/x86_64/libmlalgs.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/libmlalgs/libs/x86_64/libmlalgs.so, 6): Library not loaded: libRblas.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/libmlalgs/libs/x86_64/libmlalgs.so
Reason: image not found
Error in library(libmlalgs) : .First.lib failed for 'libmlalgs'
I know the libmlalgs.so is in the right place and the permissions look OK:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 58384 3 Oct 14:30 libmlalgs.so
So I am stumped as to why the GUI is unable to read the file.
Any pointers would very welcome. As I am a textmate user and it passes the code to the R64.app, I currently stuck with either command line or Rstudio (it's nice but is currently missing some key features textmate has)
